Description

Information exchange in communication network
Technical field
The present invention relates to the fields of ad-hoc communication network, and specifically, are related to information friendship in ad hoc networks The field changed.
Background technique
Many mobile wireless electronic devices of today can be communicated with the device of surrounding, and thus be served as in self-organizing network Node.Self-organizing network be electronic device mutually nearby when spontaneous, self-configuring the network that can be formed, no immobilizing foundation sets It applies.Close to each other or when leaving in different devices, node can be separately added into or exit self-organizing network.Form self-organizing network Node it is generally mutually equal, therefore, they in network transmission do not have the responsibility different from other nodes.Generally In the case of, the node in self-organizing network is portable, battery powered device, such as laptop computer, personal digital assistant, MP3 Player or multimedia mobile phone.
It can make a node in self-organizing network and another node switching information in self-organizing network, such as refering to M. " the Push of Jacobsson et al.!Music: Intelligent Music Sharing on Mobile Devices" (the 7th general fit calculation international conference, in September, 2005), it is disclosed that a kind of be used for music file from self-organizing network The first node system that is pushed to another node in self-organizing network.The push of music file can be by the use of first node Family, or started by the agents document software in first node, the software can compare the listening to pattern of first node with it is other The listening to pattern of node, to identify similar listening to pattern and the therefore potential receiver of the content of identification first node.
In " the Bubbles:Navigating Multimedia Content in Mobile Ad-hoc of Bach et al. It is provided in ad hoc networks in Networks " (procceedings of the 5th wireless world meeting, 2004, Surrey, UK) Another disclosure of information exchange.A kind of system is disclosed, wherein the software application in the first node of self-organizing network This situation is able to detect that when other devices are in the near nodal.When having detected that another device, answering in first node With the available music listed files shown in another device.End user, which can thus start, to be communicated through unicast (equity) from this Another device to first node information downloading.
In ad hoc networks the benefit of the information exchange between node first is that different node is used in self-organizing network (because node is mutually nearby) is usually mutually known at family, and the content of a node will cause the user interest of other nodes Chance therefore it is very high.However, the multimedia files such as music or movie file are usually very big.Section in ad hoc networks This class file therefore time-consuming and/or consumption bandwidth are transmitted between point.Since the transmission of big file among the nodes is generally very long Time, therefore, the power consumed during file transmission is very big, and when node is generally battery powered, this is especially undesirable. Thus, it is desirable to have a kind of method can effectively transmit information between nodes in an ad hoc network.
Summary of the invention
A problem of the present invention is how to make the information exchange in self-organizing network more effective.
First information entity at least from first node is transferred to second node and by the second information by a kind of by this problem Entity is transferred to the method for third node from first node and is addressed, and wherein first node includes that the first and second information are real Body;Second node includes the second information entity;And third node includes first information entity.Method includes being formed including at least The self-organizing network of first, second, and third node.Method is characterized in that: in some way will at least in first node One information entity and the second information entity combined coding are at composite information entity, so as to make in decoding composite information entity With first information entity or the second information entity;And the composite message including composite information entity is transmitted from first node.
Problem also pass through be arranged on machine element run when execute the method for the present invention computer program code and The portable node of self-organizing network can be formed with other nodes and be addressed.Portable node includes: memory, setting The information entity of file at storage such as comprising music or film;Encoder is arranged in some way store memory At least first information entity and the second information entity combined coding at composite information entity, so as to by using at least first letter Entity or the second information entity are ceased, composite information entity can be decoded;Output, is coupled to encoder, includes multiple for exporting Close the composite message of information entity.
Through the invention, the handling capacity being capable of increasing when first node transmits at least two information entities is realized to increase Benefit, this is because information entity can combined coding it is real at the shorter composite information of the sum of length than at least two information entities Body.
After the step of forming self-organizing network and the step of transmitting composite message before, first or second information entity is equal When not being transmitted to second or third node from first node, throughput gain is especially big.
According to one embodiment of present invention, the node in self-organizing network receives identification and in self-organizing network at least two The identification data of the information entity of a other node associated storages, and want the first and second information of combined coding real in identification It is used in body and has received identification data.Knowledge in the other node is stored by obtaining which related information entity, it can be with Certain mode effectively selects to form information entity used in composite information entity, makes it possible to pass through self-organizing network In at least two nodes the composite information entity of formation is decoded.Identification data can receive in node through user interface, Or other nodes through the connection such as radio or infrared connection from self-organizing network receive.
In one embodiment of the invention, the benefit measure of composite information entity is calculated, in some way so as to benefit Measurement reflection by transmission composite information entity rather than the throughput gain realized of the first and second information entities.Benefit amount Degree can determine formed in composite information entity should use which information entity when use, and can be used in can be formed Different composite information entity assigns priority, can first transmit in order to provide the composite information entity of high benefit.Self-organizing network It can stop existing at any time, and usually require to start from that the composite information entity of multi information as far as possible will be conveyed to be transmitted to Recipient as much as possible.
In the one aspect of this embodiment, also calculating can be by the benefit amount for the composite information entity that other nodes transmit Degree, and the benefit measure for the composite information entity that can be formed by using first node and can be by sections other in self-organizing network The benefit measure for the composite information entity that point is formed, determines the scheduling of composite message.In this way, the whole efficiency energy of self-organizing network Enough reach highest, so as to which the node for forming the composite information entity for generating highest benefit measure can be the section transmitted at first Point, and the rest may be inferred.In this regard, having the information of the length of the information entity stored in artis that can preferably become can be used for Other nodes, for example, the identification data of identified information entity, so that benefit measure calculating can be real by the information of combined coding The comparison length of body is taken into account.
Composite message can advantageously comprise the information entity used in the composite information entity for forming composite message Identification data.
Portable node according to the present invention advantageously can also have compound including composite information entity for receiving The input of message and it is arranged to that the decoded decoder of composite information entity will have been received using the information entity stored in memory. Self-organizing network generally has flat construction (flat structure), wherein all participation nodes can be transmitted and receive letter Breath, and wherein there is any predefined effect or responsibility without node.Therefore, by include input and decoder, it is portable Node can receive the information entity for being encoded into composite message from other nodes.

Specific embodiment
The schematic diagram of self-organizing network 100 is given in Fig. 1.Self-organizing network 100 is hereinafter referred to as the electronics of node 105 Device mutually finds through signaling and is formed when subsequently forming self-organizing network 100.It may act as the electricity of self-organizing network interior joint 105 Sub-device is usually mobile wireless electronic device, as laptop computer, personal digital assistant, MP3 player and multimedia are moved Mobile phone.Such portable radio also can with fixation (wirelessly or non-wirelessly) electronic device communications, such as the individual in local area network Computer and server.Self-organizing network 100 can include the movement for forming node 105 and the mixing of fixed device.
The self-organizing network 100 of Fig. 1 is shown in three different time points: T1、T2And T3.On these time points, self-organizing Network 100 includes node 105A, 105B and 105C.In time point T3, self-organizing network 100 further includes node 105D.Self-organizing Network 100 can be completely netted, wherein and the node 105 can hear all other node 105 or partial mesh, Wherein, the node 105 cannot hear all other node 105 in network 100.In general, any section of self-organizing network 100 Point 105 potentially acts as the conveyer or receiver of information, and under normal circumstances, node 105 does not have in self-organizing network 100 Have than the more central roles of other nodes 105.The node 105 for including in self-organizing network 100 is with formation node 105 Electronic device is close to each other or away and changes over time.Only one node 105 of previous self-organizing network 100 there are still When, self-organizing network 100 stops existing.
In the self-organizing network 100 of Fig. 1, node 105A is shown as in time T1Transfer information to node 105B.When Between T2, node 105B is shown as transferring information to node 105A and 105C.In time T3, node 105C is shown as transferring information to Node 105A and 105D.At other times, other transmission situations can occur, or there may be basic in self-organizing network 100 The time point that do not transmit.It is shown in information transmission information signal 110 as shown in arrow in Fig. 1 of different time transmission.
The purpose for forming self-organizing network 100 is usually to exchange information between node 105.Information can be transmitted with unicast Form exchanges to another node 105 from a node 105, or exchanges to two from a node 105 in the form of multicast Or more other nodes 105.According to the present invention, by confirming that some nodes 105 for forming self-organizing network 100 can have altogether Same one or more information entities, can reduce the data volume transmitted in self-organizing network 100.Hereinafter, it gives The exchange of information between three nodes is as example.However, it is possible to which it is even more efficient to realize to be related to more nodes Communication.
Fig. 2 shows content 200A, 200B of three nodes 105A, 105B and 105C of respectively self-organizing network 100 and 200C.The information stored in node 105 can be considered as to be formed by one or more information entities 205.Information entity 205 is for example It can be music file, text file, movie file or any other data set that can be identified and distinguished between by node 105.Such as Shown in Fig. 2, before any information exchange in self-organizing network 100 occurs, the content 200 of different nodes 105 may have been weighed It is folded, that is, the content of two or more nodes 105 may include identical information entity 205.In the example that Fig. 2 is provided, content 200A and 200B includes information entity 205i, and content 200A and 200C include information entity 205ii and 200iii.This Outside, content 200B and 200C includes content 200vii.
According to the present invention, information entity 205 is typically included in two or more nodes 105 of self-organizing network 100 In content, the fact that be used to reduce the information content to transmit in self-organizing network 100, so as to node 105 and self-organizing Some or all of other nodes 105 of network 100 share its some or all content 200.It is stored in two different nodes 105 Information entity 205 may never homologous by the two nodes 105 or identical sources receive or one of these nodes 105 can Information entity 205(can be received for example, in different self-organizing networks is formed from another node 105).As node 105A Content 200A include information entity 205i and information entity 205ii, the content 200B of interior joint 105B includes information entity 205i, but do not include information entity 205ii, and the content 200C of node 105C includes information entity 205ii, but does not include information When entity 205i, by forming composite information entity from information entity 205i and 200ii before transmission, can reduce will be from group The data volume transmitted in knitmesh network 100.Such composite information entity for example can be by holding on information entity 205i and 205ii Row step-by-step XOR operation and formed.The node 105B of included information entity 205i can receive composite information entity Afterwards, by executing step-by-step XOR operation in composite information entity and Given information entity 205i, unknown information entity is retrieved 205ii.Similarly, node 200C can be by executing step-by-step exclusive or in composite information entity and Given information entity 205ii Unknown information entity 205i is retrieved in operation.Therefore, the single transmission of composite information entity can ensure to wrap in self-organizing network The node 105 of one of 205i containing information entity and 205ii (but do not include another) will receive before be not node 105 content The information entity 205 of a part, and passed without the first transmission of execution information entity 205i and the second of information entity 205ii It send.The transmission efficiency of self-organizing network 100 is thus improved, to mean the band of reduced delivery time and/or reduction The power consumption of width consumption and reduction.The data volume that transmit in self-organizing network 100 to reduce the method for the present invention, should be at least Know and the ignorant first information entity 205 of third node 105 and third node 105 including at least second node 105B Know and the first node 105 of ignorant second information entity 205 of second node 205.
In the example provided above with respect to Fig. 2, information entity 205i and 205ii are the content of node 105A respectively A part of 200 a part and the content 200 of node 105B and 105C.In bigger self-organizing network 100, information entity 205i may include in the content 200 of more than one node 105.Similarly, information entity 205ii can be more than one node A part of 105 content 200.With information entity 205i but without all sections of information entity 205ii in its content 200 Otherwise point 105 is able to use the composite information entity combined with information entity 205i to retrieve information entity 205ii, and also So.
As described above, composite information entity can be by using step-by-step exclusive or to transport on two information entities 205i and 205ii It calculates and is formed.Other operations can be used alternatively in forming composite information entity, such as in other Galois Field (Galois Field combined coding on).It is compiled for example, modulus summation (modulus sum) can be executed in the section of b bit in some time Code, that is, use Galois Field 2b.The example that how can form composite information entity 300 is further illustrated in Fig. 3, It is including wherein referred to as A1-AnN section 305 first information entity 205i on and including referred to as B1-BmM section 305 Modulus summation is executed on two information entity 205ii.As a result composite information entity 300 includes that n composite log 310(assumes n >=m), Wherein, k-th of composite information section 310 includes information Ak Bk, symbolIndicate the summation in any field.If m < n is wrapped The the second information entity 205ii for including m section 305 can be advantageously (n-m) a section of zero word of filling of tail portion.305/310 energy of section It is enough to be made of one or more bits, and information entity 205 can include any amount of section 305.It is compound being used to form When one of information entity 205 of information entity 300 includes sections 305 more more than another entity, zero padding can be applied, therefore, The last composite log 310 of composite information entity 300 will simply correspond to the most back segment 310(of longer information entity 205 referring to figure 3) alternative approach, such as repeated encoding are able to use, or.
Due to Ak Ak Bk=Bk, therefore, receiving the composite information entity 300 of Fig. 3 and having information entity 205i is it The node 105 of a part of content 200 thus can be by executing modulus in composite information entity 300 and information entity 205i Summation operation retrieves information entity 205ii in n sections of composite information entity 300.
If at least two nodes 105 have more than one common information entity 205, composite information entity 300 can From the formation of more than two information entity 205.If so, shared information entity 205 can for example link, and combined coding will It executes on the concatenated information entity.In the example in figure 2, information entity 205ii and 205iii can link, and link Information entity can be with information entity 205i combined coding.If information entity 205ii and 205iii are both less than information Entity 205i, this will be particularly advantageous.
Moreover, it is assumed that adequately information resides in receiving node 105, multiple information entities 205 can be encoded effectively At identical composite information entity 300:Ak Bk Ck ..., wherein AkIt is the section of first information entity 205i, BkIt is second The section of information entity 205ii, CkIt is (wherein, 205 companies of may or may not be of information entity such as the section of third information entity 205iii Information entity is tied, refering to the preceding paragraph).This allows to transmit more than two information entity 205 in same composite message 400.For example, If first node 105A have information entity 205i, 205ii and 205iii, second node 105B have information entity 205i and 205ii, third node 105C have information entity 205i and 205iii, fourth node 105D have information entity 205ii and 205iii, then first node 105A can be transmitted advantageously including composite log Ak Bk CkComposite information entity 300.Each connect The information entity 205 lacked can be decoded from prior information and composite information entity 300 by receiving node 105B, 105C and 105D.Therefore, It, can will be compound by using in all information entities formed outside one of information entity 205 used in composite information entity Information entity 300 decodes.
Fig. 4 instantiates the composite message 400 with composite information entity 300 for its payload.The composite message of Fig. 4 400 further include header 405, which includes in relation to having been used for being formed composite information entity 300 information entity 205(two or More) mark information.It also can include example in the header by the identifier that the composite message is identified as composite message Such as, as composite message flag.In addition, cyclic redundancy check (CRC) code 410 can be included in composite message 400 as tail portion In.The composite message 400 of Fig. 4 is only given as an example, and other formats of composite message 400 may be utilized.
In the self-organizing network 100 for allowing information entity 205 to link, header 405 is preferably able to include related connected The information entity 205 of knot, different information entities 205 how to encode together and different information entities 205 connection letter Cease the information of the appearance sequence in entity.
Composite message 400 including composite information entity 300 may include address field, which includes first node 105 With the address of second node 105, by these addresses, composite information entity 300 can be used in retrieving other information;Or disappear Breath 400 can be sent to all nodes of self-organizing network 100 as multicast message, because without address field.Have Information entity 205i and 200ii information entity 205i does not have as the node 105 and both not having of its content a part yet The node 105 of 200ii can ignore that composite message 400, or storage composite message 400 for future use-at that time at it Both do not have information entity 205i in content 200, also the node 105 without 200ii may receive letter at time point afterwards Cease one of entity 205i and 200ii, and if be then able to retrieve another information entity 205(composite message 400 stored).
By sending the composite message 400 including composite information entity 300, greatly reducing transmission node 105 will be transmitted Data volume.Information entity 205i and 200ii individually to send (in same message or in two different messages) without It is that additional payload amount to be transmitted, which will be equal to, is used to form composite information entity 300 when being sent in composite message 400 Two information entities 205 in shorter entity amount of bits.Composite message 400 can use longer information entity 205 First information entity 205 is transported at least one node 105 while payload space, the second information entity 205 is defeated It is sent at least another node 105, this is because the prior information stored in respective nodes 105 is used to extract corresponding unknown information Entity 205.In addition, the single information entity 205 of successful reception likelihood ratio transmission of transmission composite information entity 300 is higher.
Information entity 205iv, 205v and 205vi of such as Fig. 2 is only stored in the information entity 205 in a node 105 At least another node 105 can be transmitted in a usual manner in the first step, and be then able to be encoded into composite information reality Body 300.
Fig. 5 is the flow chart for schematically showing one embodiment of the method for the present invention.In step 500, node 105A detects other nodes 105, and self-organizing network 100 is formed.Detection can be deposited by requesting other nodes 105 to disclose it Node 105 start, or by notify its exist and then by other nodes 105 reply notice node 105 start.In shape It can be different at the degree that user in self-organizing network 100 participates in.Preferably the mark of node 105 is in self-organizing network 100 Formation during be known to other nodes 105.If the mark of node is announced, the information entity of receiving node 105 is arrived 205 transmission can be approved as condition by receiving node 105 with sending node 105.The mark of node 105 for example can be by media The access control address (MAC) indicates.Alternatively, temporary identifier can be used mutually to distinguish different nodes 105.
In step 505, be stored in which information entity 205 in other nodes 105 in self-organizing network 100 and It can be used for transmitting related identification data to be received by node 105A.Such identification data for example can be by defeated manually through user interface The user for entering the node 105A of information receives (for example, exchanging knowledge with other users of self-organizing network 100 by other media After other data, such as pass through speech or visual manner).Alternatively, the other nodes of one or more of self-organizing network 100 can Automatically send a notification message, including in relation to which information entity 205 from node 105 can with (refering to the information of step 510), Alternatively, node 105A can receive which related information entity as the response to the polling message sent before node 105A 205 from the available information of node 105.
In step 510, node 105A notifies node 105A which information entity 205 can be shared with other nodes 105. This may include all information entities 205 stored on node 105, or the information entity 205 stored on node 105A Selection.Node 105A can be given notice by notification message, and message is preferably able to be transmitted to self-organization network as broadcast message All other node 105 in network 100.Notification message preferably includes to be stored in the mark and recognition node 105A of node 105A Information identification data.The identification data provided in an announcement message for example can be the list with information entity identifier Form, wherein each information entity identifier identifies the information entity 205 stored on node 105.Alternatively, related The information which information entity 205 can be used for being transmitted to other nodes is able to respond the polling message received and transmits.Believe herein Breath is manually entered in the realization of node 105 through user interface, and step 510 can be ignored.
If step 505 is related to the reception of one or more notification messages, the notice executed in step 510 can be Occur before receiving all or part of notification messages from other nodes 105, that is, occur before or during step 505.
In step 515, received information in step 505 is analyzed, and is identified in node 105A and another node 105 Any information entity 205 stored in the content 200 of the two.The analysis of step 515 includes comparing identification in self-organizing network 100 Other nodes 105 in the information entity identifier of information entity 205 that stores, to identify any shared information entity 205。
In step 520, based on the received letter in relation to available information entity 205 in other nodes 105 in step 505 The information for ceasing and having the information entity 205 stored in artis 105A, determines node 105A should transmit which information entity 205. In addition, determining whether any composite information entity 300 for forming the information entity 205 that should be transmitted is advantageous.If in node 105A Content in have a pair of (or group) information entity 205, wherein this is right/group first information entity 205 be stored in including except this is right/ In at least one node 105 of the outer other information entity of one of the information entity 205 of group for a part of its content 200, and This is right/group another/other information entity 205 be stored in without this is right/group first information entity 205 be its content 200 A part at least one other node 105 in, then can advantageously determine that this is right in step 520/group information entity answer It is encoded into composite information entity 300.Can not be combined into it is such it is right/group information entity can be passed in regular message in a usual manner It send.
In addition, forming the analysis of the benefit of specific composite information entity 300 can also execute in step 520, such as logical It crosses and calculates for transmitting the composite message 400 including composite information entity 300 and transmitting composite information entity 300 in a usual manner The transmission resource compared of information entity 205 reduce, generate a benefit measure.Such benefit measure can for example depend on will Can quantity to the decoded node 300 of composite information entity 300 and be used to form composite information entity 300 information it is real The length ratio (length difference between or) (or difference between the information entity of the connection of where applicable) of body 205.It is then different The benefit measure of composite message 400, which is able to carry out, to be compared, and the comparative example such as can be used in determining transmission composite message 400 Sequence.
In step 525, compound and/or regular message is formed according to the analysis executed in step 520 and transmission, preferably It is formed and is transmitted as multicast message.
In step 530, it is decoded to from the received any composite message 400 of other nodes 105.Assuming that answering using Fig. 4 The format for closing message 400 is then analyzed and has received the header 405 of composite message 400 and wrap to identify when being formed in composite message 400 Which information entity 205 has been used when the composite information entity 300 included.If other in addition to one of those information entities 205 Information entity has stored in node 105A, then, can be to composite information entity 300 by using Given information entity 205 Decoding, and the information entity 205 being not yet stored in node 105A can be retrieved.
In step 535, any new information entities 205 for having received/having retrieved are stored into the content 200 of node 105A. In step 540, which terminates.
When information entity 205 is transmitted to another node 105 by node 105A, the lower level in node 105A can be preferred Ground transmits a signal to application, the time that instruction transmission is completed.In addition, received confirmation can be by having received composite information message 300 node 105 is sent.Identify that the information entity identifier of information entity that has transmitted between node 105 can be from group Which which continuously transmitted in knitmesh network 100, to update the node of self-organizing network 100 with regard to information entity known to node 105 105。
Inventive method assumes that the node 105 for forming self-organizing network 100 has the common side of identification information entity 205 Therefore formula is equal to any another node 105 in self-organizing network 100 by the information entity 205 that first node 105 is identified as " X " It is identified as the information entity 205 of " X ".In one embodiment of the invention, information entity 205 can be with information entity to be used as The uniqueness of identifier or random alphanumeric name are associated.Information entity 205 and information entity identifier then can It by integrity protection (in field of encryption has been people for this method advantageous by the hash code of the entire sequence of data It is known).The use of hash code ensures can be detected any change of information identity identifier.The hash code of information entity 205 It can (notification message disappears to poll as a part of the message for including the identification of information entity 205 stored in node 105 The response of breath) it sends, to ensure the correct identification of information entity 205.Hash code also can include the report in composite message 400 In first 405.
It is alternatively possible to which the common identification for the information entity 205 in different nodes 105 uses other methods.
In one embodiment, to transmit which information entity 205 by node 105A in step 520 is determined to base The hypothesis with a part of information entity 205 as much as possible as its content 200 is wished in each node 105.Therefore, it saves Point 105A will assume that any node 105 without particular information entity 205 is wanted to receive the information entity 205.Alternative real In existing, it is not assumed that all other node 105 should include all available information entities 205 when the exchange of information entity is completed.Section Point 105 can be in the composite information entity for sending information entity 205(or being formed from information entity) come to waiting before other nodes 105 Request from least one other node 105 to particular information entity 205.Need the node 105 of particular information entity 205 by because This solicited message entity 205, the information entity is according to received that notification message is stored as the content 200 of another node 105 one Part.
It does not include a pair of of information reality shared as described above by other node sections if there is at least one node 105 Any information entity 205 of body 205, and need the information entity 205 of this pair, then it is contemplated that in a usual manner by the letter of this pair Breath entity 205 is sent to all nodes 105, this is because will need routine for the node 105 for not including information entity 205 The transmission of message.It is alternatively possible to the regular message and composite message 400 of one of information entity 205 including this pair are transmitted, because This, the node 205 for lacking two information entities is able to use the information entity 205 of the message transmitted in a usual manner and disappears to compound 400 decoding of breath.
The process of Fig. 5 is illustrated by the transmission and reception of the node 105A information entity 205 carried out.However, as walked Shown in rapid 505 and 530, method cannot be executed independently of other nodes in self-organizing network 100.On the contrary, the method for Fig. 5 will The all or part of nodes (at least three) being related in self-organizing network, and 105 energy of any node in self-organizing network 100 Enough sending nodes 105 for playing the role of composite message 400 frequently.Therefore, the step 525 of composite message is transmitted by node 105 The access right waited when the transmission of other nodes 105 to transmission medium will be commonly included in.
